This course is designed for body therapy practitioners who would like to explore integrating Craniosacral Therapy into their practices. It consists of three weekend seminars at 4-week intervals (a total of six days).

The seminars are taught with an integrated approach combining theory, anatomy, practice sessions and discussion of class process. Our goal is to build a foundation of basic skills and principles and to create a base for further study. Cranial work challenges the practitioner to develop new palpation and listening skills and to explore the primary life impulses within the body. Students prepare for seminars by completing reading assignments and doing practice sessions. Required books for the training are Cranial Intelligence by Ged Sumner & Steve Haines and Atlas of Human Anatomy by Frank Netter.

OVERVIEW OF TOPICS◆ Introduction to William Sutherland's essential discoveries, concepts and practices, and an overview of the contributions of Becker, Upledger, Sills, Shea and others.

◆ Understanding stillpoints and stillness as part of the body's balancing and healing process.

◆ Resources for further study.

Students interested in deepening their studies in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy can continue their training at Soma-Psyche Institute’s Craniosacral Certification Program.
